Report a Comment

As usual, there are a ton of comments about rude cyclists expecting pedestrians to get out of the way on trails. Perhaps if you hear warnings as rude demands, the problem is on your end? In general, the cyclist ringing the bell doesn't want you to move at all--he wants you to know he is there so you don't walk into him, but is planning to pass in the other lane. (That said, if you're taking up the whole path and you become aware someone is behind you, you should move over like a polite, rational member of society.) For all of those complaining about demanding cyclists, what exactly are you looking for? Should cyclists pass you illegally with no audible signal? (Warning: other pedestrians will be upset if you manage to convince cyclists to go that route.)
